Why Purchase a Snowboard?

Investing in a snowboard may be particularly beneficial if you're planning to visit the mountains regularly. It allows you to select precisely the type of snowboard that suits your needs. Choosing a board with the correct length, width, and one that aligns with your riding style can significantly enhance your snowboarding experience. Additionally, you have the opportunity to pick the graphic and design on the snowboard, an option that isn’t available when renting.

How to Determine the Right Snowboard for You

There are four snowboard categories available. Each type is crafted for different areas of the mountain. Kid's snowboards, suitable for their size, are also available.

All-Mountain Snowboards

These are excellent for a variety of snow conditions and terrains. They offer complete control and stability while carving on the piste and are capable of managing some off-piste snow at the side of the slopes. It is also an ideal choice for beginners and versatile riders.

Freeride Snowboards

Perfectly suited for deep powder but can cope with some firmer snow conditions. They generally feature a directional shape for optimal floatation in deep snow. Powder snowboards are also included in this category, as they exhibit many similar qualities.

Splitboards

Splitboard snowboards are designed for off-piste snowboarding in the backcountry. These snowboards divide into two skis for ascending uphill and reconnect for the descent. Special bindings are necessary and they should only be utilised by seasoned riders.

Freestyle Snowboards

Known as park snowboards, these are tailored for enjoyment in the snowpark or jibbing alongside the piste. They are another adaptable option, akin to all-mountain snowboards. Typically, they feature twin tips and are shorter for a more dynamic feel.
